Tennessee 1-1 at New York Giants 1-1 - 1:00 PM [Sheridan's odds: Giants by 3]
There are concerns that Vince Young's ever-so-fragile "psyche" was damaged when he was pulled in the 4th quarter last week.
My question is: How would you be able to tell? Shiny objects no longer hold his attention?
---RJ's Pick: Tennessee by 2
Pittsburgh 2-0 at Tampa Bay 2-0 - 1:00 PM [Sheridan's odds: Steelers by 2.5]
The Steelers will start Charlie Batch in place of the injured Dennis Dixon, who had been starting in place of the suspended Ben Roethlisberger, who replaced Tommy Maddox as starter back in 2004, who had become the starter that year after an injury to ... Charlie Batch.
---RJ's Pick: Pittsburgh by 6
Cincinnati 1-1 at Carolina 0-2 - 1:00 PM [Sheridan's odds: Bengals by 3]
Who would have thought that the Bengals' biggest scoring threat was Mike Nugent?
(No relation.)
---RJ's Pick: Cincinnati by 7
Cleveland 0-2 at Baltimore 1-1 - 1:00 PM [Sheridan's odds: Ravens by 10.5]
The Ravens are on track to score just 160 points this season, Joe Flacco has a QB rating of 41.2, and their running game is averaging an anemic 2.7 yards per carry. Yet they are favored by double-digits over a division rival that could easily be 2-0 right now?
I'm not saying the Browns are gonna win (in fact, I almost never say that), but I don't think the Ravens are going to cover that spread. Hell, they might not even score 11 points!

Dallas 0-2 at Houston 2-0 - 1:00 PM [Sheridan's odds: Texans by 3]

Holding at 5-4. Hate that the Texans played so poorly! And the Saints loss...I'd hate to be Garrett Hartley having to show my face around town after that miss.

Well, you're beating me (8-7) as I continue to pick worse every week. Good thing I don't bet on this stuff...can't even pick straight up much less ATS.

C2E & as2ros:
Looks like none of us got the MNF game right... :-/

No, I missed it but it was close. Green Bay had waaay to many penalties!
I went 9-7 this week which puts me at 33-15 so far for the season.
20 - C2E
I'm also 21 of 27 for the first 3 weeks. As2ros, you might want to apply at ESPN or Fox.
I'm still not a Chicago believer...Green Bay was more sloppy than Chicago was good last night. Now, on to Week 4!
